27. That is a horrible thing to say
If you weren't being tongue-n-cheek, forgive me. To say 90% of the people in that crowd would do to the Iranians & Palestinians, what Hitler's Nazis did to the Jews is a very reckless statement to make. Many of those people that were at that convention were just like you and me. There ideology is out of whack, but they are still good people. Were there some racists and bigots in that crowd. Yes. I suspect you would find some racists and bigots that would turn up at some progressive rallies and conferences. What Hughley could have said was that the "rhetoric used by the speakers was symbolic of Nazi Germany." That I would have no problem with. He focused on the people, instead, and in doing so made a very idiotic assumption.
